HTML tag: img
When you add elements, such as text, images or a table, to the content of a template, you are
actually constructing an HTML file. It is possible to edit the source of the HTML file directly in
the Designer; see "Editing HTML" on page387.
In the section's source file, images are <img> elements. The <img> tag has at least four
attributes: src, alt, width and height. src specifies the URL of the image. alt contains the
alternate text; see "Setting an alternate text" on page457.
The value of the attributes can be changed via a script; see "Attributes" on page388.
Adding images
Imported or external images
In templates, both imported images and external images can be used.
Imported images are images that are saved within the template file. To import images into a
template and add them to the content, you can use the drag-and-drop method or the Select
Image dialog (both are explained below).
External images are either located on a specific website (URL), or in a folder on a hard drive
that is accessible from your computer. Note that external images need to be available at the
time the template is merged with a record set to generate output, and that their location should
be accessible from the machine on which the template's output is produced. External images
are updated (retrieved) when the output is generated. External images can not be added via the
drag-and-drop method. Use the Select Image dialog instead (see below).
For information about referring to images in HTML or in a script, see "Resources" on page276.
Via drag-and-drop
The drag-and-drop method is a quick way to import one or more images into a template.
1. Look up the image file or image files on your computer using the Windows Explorer.
2. Select the image (or images, using Shift+click or Ctrl+click) and drag the image file from
the Explorer to the Images folder on the Resources pane at the top left.
